I KID. I KID!

Not to say that I am not a giant pair of crankypants or that I do not time my own tea steeping. But I would not seriously mock someone for that (unless they timed it outloud/with a loud timer and near me).

You can definitely add chicken to pad thai.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But I would not seriously mock someone for that (unless they timed it outloud/with a loud timer and near me).

Would you mock if one wrote a C++ program to time tea?

Is it ok to add chicken to it? I have chicken I need to use up.

Yes. Pad Thai purists can suck an egg. I'm planning to add chicken and tofu, myself.

I mock programmers as a rule, dontcha know. It stems from my ridiculous need to deny all geek or nerd attributes to a fault. (this is where I compulsively say that I don;t even know what C++ is).

Is it ok to add chicken to it? I have chicken I need to use up. Or should I just add some shrimp?

I think pad thai has both, right? even if it doesn't, throw it in there, it's your pad thai.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

You can definitely add chicken to pad thai.

Go make me a chicken pad thai!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was just sent a link to an Owen Wilson trailer that has one of our instructors in it (unsuprisingly he's the one that says he's from the Israeli Secret Service. Found out people had been sitting on this trailer which is beyond funny, but you do get to see krav defenses working in a fight movie context, which is cool.

I steep for about three minutes, but use water that has come to a boil. Most often I'm using tea bags, but I'm developing a prediliction for those pyramid shaped ones with the bigger leaves inside.

And then I dump an ice cube or two into the tea, because I burn easily.

Theoretical question #1: If you're expecting an email from someone you know but not well enough to nag, and you've had an email mishap that you know has trashed some of your mail, how do you poke them? It is theoretical because I know another way to get the info, but I was just wondering.

Unrelatedly, one of the krav employees asked me "If we're just dating, I can see other people, right?" I told her yes, and then "No, stop bogarting the men." But now I wonder if I should just have stayed out of the whole thing.

I'm so geeked about pole dancing it's goofy. This might be because I already have the requisite hooker heels--two pairs, even.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Go make me a chicken pad thai!

BWAH!
